Filming in Wenchuan was a tiring, frustrating yet ultimately meaningful experience. First off the elements definitely acted as spokes in our wheel of progress. We soon learnt that Wenchuan town and the surrounding villages were all in different climatic zones.

The sky takes on a softer, clearer blue in Ningxia and this together with the lush green farmland is somehow soothing on the eyes. Don’t forget the pollution free air, which tastes clean and crisp especially first thing in the morning when the sun is flickering on the horizon.
